Juventus 0 Manchester United 3, Champions League, February 2003

If there was ever a dip during Giggs’ career, then it was during the middle of the 2002/03 season.

There were even reports he was booed by a frustrated Old Trafford crowd when he was substituted in a League Cup tie in January 2003, and then a month later, he embarrassingly missed an open goal as Arsenal knocked United out of the FA Cup.

But Giggs always reserved his best for games against Juventus, and with one exhilarating run against the Italians at the Stadio Delle Alpi, he shrugged off this slump and announced he was back.

Giggs picks up the ball near the halfway line before effortlessly gliding his way past three defenders and finishing with his weaker right foot past the stationary Gianluigi Buffon.

Ryan Giggs had to wait until he was 35 to win his first senior personal award, and it was goals like this that convinced his fellow professionals to vote him as their PFA Player of the Year for this season.

Giggs broke the deadlock in the 62nd minute to win the game for United when he received the ball wide on the left wing before cutting inside, beating two challenges and firing a low shot past West Ham goalkeeper Rob Green.
